Poetry Thursday

I’m going to improve my writing skills this year. I’m going to improve the way I convey my mind’s ideas to the written and spoken word. Every Thursday I’m going to post an original poem I’ve written.

In the future, I'll make some funny, and rhyme, and some will just plain suck.. I don't care.

Not into poems, don’t read.

For me, they help evoke abstract emotion into the written word. If you read them with an open mind, you’ll have a picture painted in your head.

The stigma was poetry is a feminine thing. Like it’s for sissies. I couldn’t disagree more. Poetry is an artistic demonstration that you’ve mastered words.

So welcome to the inaugural Poetry Thursday.

If you’re into poems and you’d like to feature on a Poetry Thursday, email it to me at stevejegger@gmail.com with the subject “poetry Thursday” and ill feature it.

Here is my first. enjoy

 

 

 

 

 Fish Head  By:Steve Jegger

Create a catacomb of breakthroughs,

Ever buried, suffocated.

Under the next cascade of the mind’s nomadic conclusion.

These are the epiphanies  to share;

They take precedent above equivalencies from moments past.

Like a compost of dynamic insurgency left stagnant in time

To decompose underneath a layer of convenience

Does the soul determine the profound;

What to exist and perish for,

When copious last breaths have been engaged in vain

And cowards of plenty have missed their beautiful conclusion

Yet revel, hedonistic sense that the frigid wind speaks to them

They deserve hearing the whispers of the universe as they rise and slumber

Ignorant to being the walking rotten

Like a salmon who’s climaxed life, still feels the water and for a glint knows it matters;

We, the fish; our climax to convince our school, truth.

Ever unaware that millennia past

The truth has at no time been found.

Still we swim the stream.
